LESSON (cont.)
Verbs ending in -ch, -tch, -ss, -zz, -o , such as catch, follow the do and go patterns of conjugation and

Examples:
I catch / she catches
You pitch / he pitches
I kiss / she kisses
You buzz / he buzzes
They veto / he vetoes
Remember that when you use the negation HAVE, BE and DO have specific forms when used in spoken
and / or informal English:
Examples:
I have -> I havent ; he has -> he hasnt
He is -> he isnt ; you are -> you arent
I do -> I dont ; he does -> he doesnt
Additionally, DO is often used to ask questions:
Examples:
Do you go to school here?
What do you study?
Where does she go to school?
DO, HAVE and BE are also used in question tags and answers:
Examples:
Do you go to school here? Yes I do.
Does your university have a soccer team? No, it
doesnt. Have you got the time to help me? Yes I have.
Are they going to the movies tonight? Yes they are.
